2. Tromsø, Norway

This spectacular city can give you a wonderful view of the Northern Lights for the most months of the year. Due to the Gulf Stream, the climate in Tromsø is milder, which helps the 'aurora' sky to be more easily visible. Additionally, there's nothing better than the Northern Lights Festival, where tourists can enjoy the aurora view while listening to various types of music. Is there a better combination?
